With the new client, some existing mods are no longer working as intended, if at all. I think it would be easier for everyone if we compiled a list of all the mods the new client broke, so they can all be identified and updated one by one. So please post any mods you are having problems with and what the issue(s) with them are here.

I don't know if this is because of the new client, but the Dr. Pepper parts pack (just the .package, not from origin) is preventing creepy & cute parts to be accessed in the editor for me. That's with the origin version of spore, creepy & cute, and Galactic Adventures installed in that order.

EDIT: Nevermind, Origin was just installing the new version of Creepy & Cute

Actually they just haven't updated Creepy and Cute yet - it doesn't work either way.

Okay, I have another mod that's broken: the building symmetry mod. The symmetry in the building creator works, but screws over the adventure editor. When I attempt to edit one of my adventures with the mod installed, this message pops up:

For some reason, some buildings are remarked as having parts that aren't in the game (Despite me not even having any other building-related mods), and they're buildings I did not make myself, or don't even use the mod!Screenshot of banned buildings:With Mod: Without Mod: (No error message appears)

Spore is your imagination, the stronger it is; the better you can be in Spore!

I just redownloaded Spore due to the new client (and on a different pc) through Origin and now I tried to DL force save but it didn't work. After using the force save manual tweak I have started the game up, only to have it crash. I tried again, and in 15 minutes or so within starting it again, I encounter another crash. It's been only a few days since the client update, so I understand that there are things that need to be fixed/addressed, but I feel that crashing nearly instantly really needs to be reported.

Maybe it's because I added Himeric engine, which is new to my game or something up to date, or it may be that I didn't remove the force save package. Or the tweak regarding force save.. Either way, it's become near unplayable. I tried unmodded Core Spore last night without any complications. It's seemingly only after the manual tweak, so how would I try and find a solution?

Edit: I removed the force save mod but not the manual tweak. Still crashing almost instantly.

Be sure to see my Spore videos on YouTube! You can find me under BetLV.

I need to test in depth to check what else isn't working, but a mod not mentioned yet that's not working for me is the CB Spine Tweaker mod.

Edit Update:I'm only going to include mods not listed in the first post:

mostly working:Graveyard (no longer spawns bones around starting nest, otherwise works fine)Forgotten Spore 2015 (causes other members of your species to disappear from home nest when starting creature stage, mate & members will reappear later)

Not Working:CB Spine Tweaker

not sure which mod is causing it, but other creatures in the creature stage do not have a nest model even though it is fine on the map and the creatures all stay as if the nest was there.

Actually, my mods seem to work just fine. I was about to rant (and in fact I did, I just edited the message)Dark injection is alright, and force save is too. I have a ton of mods so I wouldn't really know if something is screwed up.

Oh, you DO use the tweak. Okay, that suddenly is a lot less confusing...

...uh, can I ask another favor? I need another screenshot of the editor, this time with Dark Injection's UI-Darkspore and UI-!Layouts components installed. You don't have to keep them there, of course, I just need this for diagnostic purposes.

Edit: Infinite SoL and toolMod is broken. The whole point of it as right after you get past the tutorial in space stage, every single tool is free and instantly available to get. Which, now it doesn't do whatsoever.

Another Edit. BetterSpore 1.5.1 is beyond broken now. Do not try to install any of it. GA breaks entirely and half the stuff doesn't work anymore.

Cell parts in creature editor looks fine to me, at least the one that comes with DarkSpore.BetterSpore 1.5.1 parts works fine, but any custom tools have disappeared from my save.All badges mod does not work, and in fact, has reversed.Extended solar systems seem to work fine.

With just the custom tool disappearance, this is ruined for me.So... any way to go back to the old launcher?Is the launcher just the .exe? I hope it is.

EDIT: Copying a supposedly "unupdated" (As in, everything except the new client). Will report back if it works

EDIT 2: It'll download eventually.

EDIT 3: Can't even open it. Probably because steam. If steam_api.dll is removed, an error jumps at me. Guess there's no going back. Well, thanks EA, I'll have to resort to playing in my other pc with internet off so steam won't update my stuff.
